Who could out-strange the Lord?
Who could out-near-&-dear the Holy One?

Is This True? Yikes.

"Let no one think that he will be cured of his illness in the other world. It is this world that is the hospital and place for healing; in the next world there is no hospital; there is either a palace or a prison."
True, but not all there is to it. Death itself liberates us from the tugs and pulls of the body, which are the source of most sins. When we get our body back on the Last Day, it is perfect. So that makes for major change!
Nevertheless, the basic relationship we have with God at the end of our life here is the relationship with God we take with us there. There's no magic; it becomes whatever we truly, most deeply, want it to be.
